You know, I don’t watch videos too often. I absolutely love them, but the level of attention they require is something that I rarely have the luxury of conceding: plus I really miss many things that I can easily get when reading text, such as varying the speed & depth or full text…
The week after TechEd EMEA I am traveling to Italy, where I’ll give a session about identity & cloud services at the ID World conference. The ID World is a pretty different event from the ones I am used to speak for: there is a strong emphasis on physical authentication, and its delegates…
Immediately after IDWorld I will fly to Malmö, Sweden, where I will present a session "Identity & Cloud Services" for the Architecture track of Øredev 2008. Øredev is a big developer conference, one of the most important for the Scandinavian countries: this is definitely a technical audience, which which I won’t hesitate to…
I barely picked my luggage from the belt in SeaTac, and I already have to check it in. Next week the show moves to Barcelona, to TechEd EMEA 2008: there will be *a lot* of sessions about identity (yours truly is currently scheduled to deliver 3 of them), with a lot of people…
Did you think we uncovered all our cards at PDC? Nope: that was mainly (but not only) our developer story, given the atmosphere of the conference, but in our sleeve there’s ample space for ITPros too. It’s hot news from this morning that we made available the release candidate of ILM "2": you…

Many words will be…
[update The Training Kit version announced here is now obsolete: today (2/6/2009) we announced the availability of the February Update of the Azure Services Training Kit. Read about this update here] You all heard the news: Windows Azure here, Azure Services there… now it’s time to get you hands dirty: the team…
Identity is everywhere at this PDC2008! After the keynotes and the many breakouts, let me introduce you to the Booth. We are in the Big Room, on your right, and we are easily recognizable thanks to 1) the big “Identity for software+services” signage and 2) the fashionable pistacchio shirts we drape ourselves in….
Link to the video HERE Ah joy. After *months* of anaerobic craziness, I am finally able to find a moment to post few lines on the blog (now that the gates are open, in the next weeks I’ll pour rivers of new stuff here). Yesterday I had the honor & privilege of presenting…
As stated in former posts, the main reason for which I am blogging less than usual is that like many other colleagues I am working hard on the upcoming PDC (have you registered yet? You better hurry!). And what I could be working on, if not identity? Identity is going to be…
